Sérgio Moro: Until the problem of bets is properly addressed, including through their complete suppression or by imposing very strict restrictions on advertising related to them, it is not appropriate to take a further step and legalize these other forms of gambling.
Sérgio Moro: Moreover, we have, unfortunately, seen a growth in organized crime in the country, often also associated with money laundering.
And we know that the gambling sector is highly vulnerable to this type of practice.
Sérgio Moro: So, we also need to improve controls over the financial movements resulting from gambling before we take a step forward.
Sérgio Moro: It was wise of President Davi Alcolumbre to withdraw it from the agenda here to allow for further examination.
